Chapter 66
It will take a week for the test results to be available, and they will then be sent directly to the candidate's school. The candidate and his or her parents will then collect them and register at their favorite middle school.
Compared to other students who were worried, Su Miao was confident and not worried at all. He just lived his life as usual.
At noon, I go to the stall with my father and brother. After coming back, I read books and watch TV. Sometimes I go to the gymnasium and library to play, or make an appointment with some classmates to go shopping and hiking. It’s very relaxing.
It wasn't until the evening of a week later that Aunt Zhang from the convenience store at the corner of the alley came running over and knocked on the door.
"Xiao Su! Xiao Su! Go answer the phone! It's Miaomiao's school calling! Are the results out?!"
There is a telephone in Aunt Zhang's grocery store. Many people in the alley have left that number. Calls are charged by the time, but answering the call is free. They are all neighbors who usually come here to patronize the store when they buy things.
Su Miao and the other two put down the dishes they had just picked up and went out to answer the phone.
Su Yuanzheng pressed the hands-free button and said, "Hello, I'm Su Miao's parent. Are you a teacher at the primary school?"
Teacher Meng's voice came from the other end of the line: "Su Miao's father! Hello! I'm Su Miao's homeroom teacher. I'm calling to tell you some good news in advance! Su Miao got first place in the county in the entrance exam to junior high school! Not only did he get first place in the county, but he also got full marks in all three subjects!"
Teacher Meng's joyful voice came through the thin telephone line, making everyone around excited.
"Teacher Meng! Are you telling the truth? Did Miaomiao really get full marks?" Su Yuanzheng's voice trembled slightly.
"I can tell you responsibly that this is true! The transcripts have just been sent to school. Although you won't be coming to school to collect your scores until tomorrow, I'm so proud of Su Miao that I decided to tell you this good news in advance."
Su Miao leaned in close to the phone and said, "Teacher, thank you for calling me. We're all so happy! I can achieve this result thanks to your careful training over the years. I'm very grateful to you!"
"Hahaha! The biggest credit should go to you, who is smart and studious. Okay, I won't disturb you and your family from celebrating. Remember to come to school at 10 am tomorrow to get your report card."
"Okay, goodbye, teacher."
The neighbors who were out for a walk gathered around and praised him one after another.
"Miao Miao is really promising! She can get first place in the whole county."
"That's right! No. 1 Primary School is the number one school in the county, and Miaomiao is the number one student in No. 1 Primary School. So who else could be the number one student in the county except Miaomiao?"
"Hey! Our alley has great feng shui! When Miaomiao gets top marks in the middle school and college entrance exams, we'll sign a petition together to change this Gexin Alley to Zhuangyuan Alley!"
"That's a great idea, Lao Wang! You're really smart! Miaomiao! Come on!"
…
After thanking the neighbors for their congratulations, Su Miao and the other two went home to eat. Although Su Miao and Su Yu were happy, they were able to control themselves.
However, Su Yuanzheng couldn't stop smiling and kept laughing while eating.
Su Miao couldn't bear to watch it any longer and said helplessly, "Dad, why don't you finish your meal before laughing? The rice is about to spill out!"
"Hehehe! Dad is so happy! I'm number one in the county! No, I have to burn incense and paper money to tell my ancestors."
"Dad, with this grade, you can definitely go to Yongcheng No. 1 Middle School. So, we should start planning now. We need to find a house or a shop, and move. Oh, and I've already told Brother Yu to take him to Yongcheng with us."
Su Yu tightened his grip on the bowl and looked up at Su Yuanzheng expectantly. He nodded cheerfully and said, "Of course. There's no one more trustworthy than A-Yu. But tomorrow I have to go home and talk to your parents about this. You have to ask for their consent."
Su Yu nodded vigorously: "I agree! They will definitely agree."
The next day, the self-service porridge shop was closed for the day. Su Yuanzheng brought Su Miao to the school to get her report card, and Su Yu also happened to be going back to the village.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw a bright red banner hanging above the gate, congratulating our schoolmate Su Miao for getting first place in the county with full marks in the junior high school entrance examination.
Such a long string of words would probably not be able to be printed if the school gate was not big enough and the banner was not long enough.
A large group of parents and classmates who came to collect their grades were looking up. When Li Yuanyuan saw Su Miao coming, she ran over and held her hand.
"Wow! Miaomiao, this banner must have been printed overnight! You got a perfect score on the test!"
"Yeah, it's a good result. Have you received your results?"
"Not yet. I just got here. Let's go in together."
The two little girls walked side by side in front, and the parents of the two families followed behind and had an excited discussion.
"Su Miao's father! Your daughter is amazing!"
"Hehe! Each generation is better than the last! My daughter is much better than me. Your daughter Yuanyuan is also very good. She is always very polite every time she comes to my house. You have really good parents!"
"Oh my! Don't praise her anymore. She'll be so proud if she hears it. We like Miaomiao very much too. We're so happy to know that she got a perfect score! I just don't know how our daughter Yuanyuan did in the exam."
"Don't worry, Yuanyuan is so smart and her grades are good, so she will definitely be fine."
…
As he was talking, he arrived at the classroom door. The classroom, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet for a few seconds after Su Miao arrived, and then broke into warm applause.
Some classmates who were on good terms with Su Miao ran over and shouted happily.
"Su Miao, you're amazing! You got a perfect score! I'm so happy for you!"
"I'll go back and tell everyone in the compound that the student sitting in front of me got full marks in three subjects! They'll definitely be envious!"
…
Teacher Meng came over and touched the children's heads and said, "Okay, children, please be quiet. We are going to start handing out report cards."
Each class's transcript only consisted of a large form. After the academic affairs office received it, they cut each person's grades in each subject into separate slips of paper, almost like pay slips.
Teacher Meng handed out the report cards one by one, and did not announce the specific scores of others in public, so everyone did not know the scores of other students except themselves and Su Miao.
"Parents, please have received your child's grades. In two weeks, each middle school will announce the admission scores. You can apply to the appropriate school based on your child's scores. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
After looking at the report card, some were happy and some were worried. However, since their children were in a key class, they could still go to junior high school no matter how bad their grades were. The only difference was which school they could go to. They surrounded the teacher and asked about the registration for further studies.
